... The following options require more care in address selection and testing actions, as conflicts with other users, servers and systems can occur: LAN — Connect the Interface Board’s Ethernet port to an existing LAN, preferably one to • which the development PC is already connected. You will need to obtain IP addressing infor- mation from your network administrator ...

... It may be possible to configure the firewall or proxy server to allow hosts on the Internet to directly contact the controller, but it would probably be easier to place the controller directly on the external network outside of the firewall. This avoids some of the config- uration complications by sacrificing some security. MiniCore RCM5700/RCM6700 User’s Manual rabbit.com 92 ...

... Each MiniCore module has its own unique MAC address, which consists of the prefix 0090C2 followed by a code that is unique to each MiniCore module. For example, a MAC address might be 0090C2C002C0. TIP: You can always obtain the MAC address on your module by running the sample program DISPLAY_MAC.C from the SAMPLES\TCPIP folder.

... G.1 Power Supplies The RCM5700/RCM6700 requires a regulated 3.15 V – 3. power source. The MiniCore design presumes that the voltage regulator is on the user board, and that the power is made avail- able to the RCM5700 board through the edge connectors. ...

... A lithium battery with a nominal voltage and a minimum capacity of 165 mA·h is recom- mended. A lithium battery is strongly recommended because of its nearly constant nominal volt- age over most of its life. The drain on the battery is typically 5uA for the RCM5700 and 120uA for the RCM6700 when no other power is supplied. MiniCore RCM5700/RCM6700 User’s Manual rabbit ...

... It reduces the battery voltage to real-time clock, thereby limiting the current consumed by the real-time clock and lengthening the battery life. • It ensures that current can flow only out of the battery to prevent charging the battery. • Switches to battery power only when the +3.3 V system power supply is off. ...
